Key Features

• Genuine OEM Construction — Manufactured to Multiquip's original design tolerances, ensuring the flyweight hand engages and releases with the correct mechanical response for your centrifugal clutch system.
• Direct-Fit Replacement — Matches the original mounting geometry and pivot dimensions, dropping into place without alteration on compatible MVH-series reversible plates.
• Confirmed Fitment — Verified for MVH408DZ and MVH308DZ heavy-duty reversible plate compactors.
• Clutch System Integrity — A worn or damaged flyweight hand disrupts centrifugal engagement, causing erratic clutch behavior and uneven power transfer to the compaction plate; replacing it restores smooth, consistent operation.
• Operational Safety — Proper flyweight function is essential for controlled clutch engagement on reversible compactors — using a correctly rated OEM part helps prevent unexpected engagement or slippage during operation.

The flyweight hand is a mechanical component within the centrifugal clutch assembly of a reversible plate compactor. As engine speed rises, the flyweights pivot outward under centrifugal force, engaging the clutch drum and transferring power to the exciter system that drives compaction. When a flyweight hand becomes worn, cracked, or loses its pivot action, the clutch may slip, engage late, or fail to disengage properly at idle — reducing compaction effectiveness and placing additional stress on surrounding clutch components. Replacing a damaged flyweight hand promptly restores the clutch's intended engagement curve and protects the broader assembly from accelerated wear.
